Unfortunately, Mornar suffered a heavy defeat against Tsmoki Minsk in the last game of the 2017/18 FIBA Europe Cup Second Round, but the good news is that they have qualified for the next stage of the competition!
Mornar failed to finish the group stage among the top two placed teams in Group K, however with two FIBA Champions League teams Elan Chalon and Movistar Estudiantes having signed an opt-out and thus not transferring to the FIBA Europe Cup, these two additional spots were filled by the two best-ranked third-placed teams from the FIBA Europe Cup Second Round, Kervanos and Mornar Bar!
The Draw for the Round of 16 will be held at 11:00 CET on Thursday, February 8.
